What a fantastic term we have had, with something happening every week! As I reflect on the past term, I am excited by the wonderful opportunities our students have enjoyed, including the school musical, house activities, gala days, camps and excursions. It has been a joy to see students getting involved, making new friends, and growing in confidence.
Reconciliation Week was a highlight, with students engaging in meaningful classroom activities. Year 3 were especially fortunate to have a visit from Dingo Cockatoo, and the week concluded with a whole-school assembly and a rousing rendition of “Beds Are Burning”. Our Year 5 and 6 students also enjoyed an excursion to the AANT, where they watched the school performance of “We Will Rock You”, which was very entertaining.
Throughout the term, students have continued to grow in their learning and strive to achieve their best. This is a testament to their dedication, the great learning habits being developed, the hard work of our wonderful teachers, the explicit teaching in our classrooms, and the ongoing support from our families.
I hope students and families have a chance to relax over the holidays. The school terms are always busy, so the break is a great time to enjoy some downtime—whether it’s reading a favourite book, going camping, or simply doing activities you love.
Thank you to all our families for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you in Semester 2 for another exciting term ahead.

ELC and Junior School Athletics Carnival
The ELC–JS Athletics Carnival was held on Friday, 22 May, and it was a brilliant day enjoyed by students, staff and the wider community.
The day began with the ELC–Year 2 Carnival, where our youngest students took part in a range of fun, competitive events. Cheers of encouragement echoed across the oval as families and friends cheered them on.
It was a wonderful day that saw students across the ELC and Junior School embrace House spirit, get involved, and cheer each other on.
